Cathay Pacific - Move Beyond

Looks like CX will drop Life Well Travelled and will unveil Move Beyond as a new marketing slogan for the company.

I don't know why but when I hear Move Beyond...it's like "move on" or "look past"....should we move on from the broken plane interiors and look past the crappy lounge food? Or maybe they are encouraging flyers to Move Beyond Cathay Pacific....

ha ha!

An admission of how bad things became the last few years...

"Move beyond"....
-> Those awful fuel hedges
-> Some of the worst financial performance in CX history
-> F&B deterioration
-> MPC degradation / bizarre award release to elites
-> Staff discontent
-> etc etc

Strange slogan. Sounds like one more for motivating staff internally than one that is going to make me think more highly of the CX brand or to switch my travel from a competitor.

Compare it to slogans from competitors:

“Hello Tomorrow”
“The Spirit of Australia”
“Designed for You”
“Fly the Friendly Skies”

and then.... “Move Beyond”.

Saw the leaked video, not sure how I feel. "Cathay Pacific, Move Beyond" sounds weird to me, and Cantonese "國泰航空 志在飛躍" seems more like an internal slogan rather than marketing.

I am only hopeful that they make a new safety video.

It seems the literal translation from the Chinese is "Cathay wants to leap".
